Why ADMIT?

In the Aerosol Drug Management Improvement Team, we incorporate clinicians from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the UK.

We are driven by the recognition that, although the principles of asthma management with effective drugs are well established in Europe, the available data indicates that asthma in most patients is not well controlled. Very effective medication alone seems not to be the solution to controlling asthma (or COPD).

The reason seems to lie in very different aerosol drug inhalation techniques. Many patients do not benefit from their inhaled medication because they are incapable of using inhalers correctly; this may compromise asthma control.
